IT's too bad that The Market Gallery isn't open on Sunday so that those who attend The St Lawrence Antique Market could avail themselves.
Also, to take note of, is that The North Market, featuring farmers on Saturday and the above antiques on Sunday, will be repairing one block
South - facing The Esplanade, the latter part of March. The also to be mentioned, is that no venting for a kitchen restaurant, therefor no cooking.
Burger King n/w Front & George or McDonalds, opposite. (Ma & Co, you will be missed!)

Semi-muddy York. Not a bare-headed one among them, except the man in the doorway and he likely works there.

By that time, most downtown streets were paved.

I'd guess that Beattie is referring to the car, and not the occupants. Perhaps residents of Parkdale? I can't find any reference to a last name Parkdale in the Toronto Blue Book from 1902.

The "Registry of Deeds and Land Titles" building was a prominent landmark before demolition for the New City Hall and Nathan Phillips Square.

I'm not sure there was a car named Beattie during that period. Perhaps a Mr & Mrs Beattie of Parkdale? But why were they important enough to be photographed there? Or was it just the novelty of their arrival by car?

I was certainly puzzled by that caption, however I really enjoyed studying all those characters in the crowd.
I guess the sight and sound of an automobile in 1902 was enough to draw an audience.

It certainly would have been a big deal at the time.
